Has anyone tried this? I don't own an omni mic so I can't I was just wondering.

hmmm, this is something i've been thinking about myself actually, the mono compatibility would be a big bonus i think, gonna try it out in college sometime soon i reckon.
oh, and you can use cardiods for MS aswell as omni, infact that diagram you have is using a cardiod pattern. why dont you try it out and report back?
EDIT: Just noticed this is my first post actually, lol. hi everyone

I've only tried M/S as a room mic set-up for a kit... made the kit sound really bright and on the whole it was quite good... There's really not much need for 'perfect' mono-compatibility these days but if that's your thing than I'd say give it a shot. Wouldn't do it for overheads though... the image you'd get from them would be 'false' and probably not as exciting and cool as that of a spaced pair.
you threw me off when you said that you didn't have an omni mic...i take it you mean a mic w/ multiple polar patterns?
I used that Sure VP-88 once in drums as overheads. Interesting sound.
A interesting thing (that you may already know): once you have recorded an MS signal, you can actually convert it to stereo just by sending both chanels (mid - panned to the left, and side - panned to the right) to a stereo bus in your daw app with Waves S1-MS Matrix plugin inserted. Another interesting thing is that if you send a stereo signal to a bus with this plugin, this signal will be converted to MS!
Peace,
John
